safety gear, including an approved full face helmet, full finger gloves, and body
armor. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to have proper equipment and to be
familiar with course conditions.
WARNING: Although many catalogs, advertisements and articles
about bicycling depict riders engaged in extreme riding, this
activity is extremely dangerous, increases your risk of injury or
death, and increases the severity of any injury. Remember that the
action depicted is being performed by professionals with many
years of training and experience. Know your limits and always
wear a helmet and other appropriate safety gear. Even with
state-of-the-art protective safety gear, you could be seriously
injured or killed when jumping, stunt riding, riding downhill at
speed or in competition.
WARNING: Bicycles and bicycle parts have limitations with regard to
strength and integrity, and this type of riding can exceed those limitations.
We recommend against this type of riding because of the increased risks; but
if you choose to take the risk, at least:
• Take lessons from a competent instructor first
• Start with easy learning exercises and slowly develop your skills
before trying more difficult or dangerous riding
• Use only designated areas for stunts, jumping, racing or fast downhill riding
• Wear a full face helmet, safety pads and other safety gear
• Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on your bike by this kind
of activity may break or damage parts of the bicycle and void the warranty
• Take your bicycle to your dealer if anything breaks or bends. Do not
ride your bicycle when any part is damaged.
• If you ride downhill at speed, do stunt riding or ride in competition,
know the limits of your skill and experience. Ultimately, avoiding injury
is your responsibility.
G. Changing Components or Adding Accessories
There are many components and accessories available to enhance the comfort,
performance and appearance of your bicycle. However, if you change components
or add accessories, you do so at your own risk. The bicycle's manufacturer may not
have tested that component or accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety on
your bicycle. Before installing any component or accessory, including a different
size tire, make sure that it is compatible with your bicycle by checking with your
dealer. Be sure to read, understand and follow the instructions that accompany the
products you purchase for your bicycle. See also Appendix A, p. 35 and B, p. 42.
WARNING: Failure to confirm compatibility, properly install, operate and
maintain any component or accessory can result in serious injury or death.
